This indicator shows the percentage of American veterans 18 years and over that are limited in any activities because of physical, mental, or emotional problems.
Why is this important?
Every year, military personnel leave active duty and return to civilian jobs. Recent veterans report high rates of service-connected disabilities. People with a disability have difficulties performing activities due to a physical, mental, and/or emotional condition. The extent to which a person is limited by a disability is heavily dependent on the social and physical environment in which he or she lives. Without sufficient accommodations, people with disabilities may have difficulties living independently.
There is often a strong relationship between disability status and reported health status, and many individuals with disabilities require more specialized health care and assistance as a result of the disability. Several federal agencies use information on the size, distribution, and needs of the disabled population in order to develop policies, distribute funds, and develop programs for individuals with disabilities.

Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes.
The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
